I won't say never, but it definitely won't be when Spirit is more expensive.

His shtick is completely different from yours. It's part of his brand, selling his experiencing things so he can review them for people. Your shtick is showing people they can do it for cheap. It wouldn't fit to pay more.
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Yup. Same reason I flew UA F rather than LH F with an extra stop and 30K more miles to FCO.

Did you do that so that your readers could experience it through your TR or so that you could experience it before it's gone?

It was the fastest and cheapest way to FCO in F :)

That it costs less to sit there than to check your bag?
Quote
But there’s one aspect of Spirit that fascinates me. Spirit has “Big Front Seats,” which are basically like first class seats minus the service. The markup for these is extremely reasonable. Even on their longest flights they charge just ~$50 or so to reserve one of these seats. As upgrades on the traditional US carriers continue to get tougher, is just outright booking a Spirit “Big Front Seat” the best option? I’m dying to find out for myself.
Can it sometimes be the best option?

When do we get the TR?

FCO was one of my biggest surprises in terms of places that were never on my radar to go and left me wanting more!

Who is this nut job thinks 80% of Lucky's readers fly to Tel Aviv frequently? I don't even think 80% of Dan's readers fly to Tel Aviv frequently, certainly not on LY, and there's no way 80% of Dan's readers are flying LY in a premium cabin. Those who are flying LY are likely flying in economy and those flying in premium cabins are likely not flying LY.

I noticed  that. I'm sure he used the same username so those of us who read omaat would know it was him.

What's with the DDFers suggesting birthright?
He doesn't have a Jewish parent.

Even if he did, birthright isn't gonna pay for him to sit in business. Which is the point of him flying LY to begin with.

He should be able to. I had a student who flew with Birthright. He was able to pay more to extend his stay.
